I actually saw a video about this recently, (before i watched adolescence) about this exact matter. What made it more powerful was that number were added. By numbers I mean they showed the number of men and women in dating age. Once you start placing specifics on a partner, (size, looks, money) those numbers shrink wildly. Even the 6 foot thing...if you eliminate the men under 6", the pool of available men is more than cut in half on so on. On top of that, very few women are willing to bend on these criteria, adding to the nonsense. I'm guessing those apps have just shaped the dating world for the negative.
Have you ever seen the videos on X? I have to imagine a lot are staged, but they'll interview young girls after being out. When asked what they want out of a man, I'm sure you can guess the criteria. The problem is the men who meet these criteria would never date the majority of these girls. It's a case of setting themselves up for failure.
Hell...they were running surveys on what young people think a salary is to be considered successful. The answer...600k. It's a new, warped reality that going to slap some people in the face.
